Powerpc 9 Emulator Software On AnAlso, I made a disk image from a running iMac (266Mhz with Mac OS 9) and tried to load it in Pear PC but it didn't run. MacOS 9 was abandoned in favor of of the Unix-ish NextStep/Openstep based Mac OS X. Like previous version, it lacks true protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking.
Mac OS 9.x, based on Mac OS 8 was the final product based on the classic MacOS architecture.
